The Defender drip

I always have to laugh when I open the door to my 90 in the rain and 'that' drip starts up. It's like it knows - when I lean in (not even touching the 90 as I do so) to remove the pedal lock, the drip turns into a torrent straight down the back of my neck, then eases up again as I move away.

And apparently they all do it? How did they do it? A feat of engineering that is! I swear, they've actually built a sense of humour into the thing!

If it was any other vehicle, it would **** me off very quickly. But on the 90 - it somehow endears the thing to you even more

Mine doesn't do that am I missing out? Where can I purchase the upgrade?

Oh dear. It sounds like yours is broken.

Mine doesn't either but I want it to!!!

Mine sends a torrent of cold water down the back of your neck every now and again when your driving, no rhyme or reason, just every now and again.
I thought is was a safety feature to keep you awake on a long drive

mines got one, must be an option.

if any of my other cars needed as much attention, or leaked, or were as cold as the fender, it would prolly have pizzed me off a looooong time ago, but the fender just makes me smile

when i go round right hand bends i get a gobful of water.

When i stop water comes in above the screen.

when i go water comes in at the back of the roof

maybe i should reproof the soft top

I have a unique drip when its high winds i get a gush of water in my face!

Mine drips out where the rear headlining & front headlning meet, and the courtsey light. Rather annoying but i stil love it

I get a wet right knee in the morning. It gets in somewhere and runs along the roof joint gully. As soon as I slow at the end of my street and turn right to head off to work I get ####ing showered!

Mine does that on passengers side so only gets ar lass

take a 5mm drill bit and rill thru the internal guttering in the rear corner of the tub. Angle the drill at about 45 degrees. the drill will exit just below the gutter line. I haven't had a single drip of water fall on me. Since I did this simple mod..

Mine does this too, so I guess I got one with the option.

I also have a water feature in the roof to add to the entertainment.

I have drilled holes in the foot wells of my 110 to let the water out more quickly after wading. My missus did ask why I didn't just stop the water coming in in the first place, so I pointed out to her that if Land Rover haven't managed to make them water proof after 60 years, what chance have I got

read the water ingress manual? see FAQ section

mine used to give me a wet right foot after about 10mins driving!
